miles, on any railroad, was made the
other day on our liue, between High.
land and Collinsville, a distance of
eighteen and seven. tenth miles. The
run was made in sixteen minutes, being
an average of seventy and one eighth
miles an hour, or mile in about 5l3
seconds, the exact fraction being 63.1s7.
The best record for a like distance was
made in England some years ago, by a
special train carrying the Duke of
Wellington from Paddington to Slough,
eighteen miles, in fifteen minutes, be-
ing a speed of seventy.two miles per
hour or mile in fitty seconds. The
| Vandalia's record will stand against
this, and have permanent place in the
annals of rapid railroading, as the dis
tance is not only longer by seven-tenthc
of mile than the distance travelled by
Wellingtons train, but has the disad-
vantage shared by all the American
roads of grades aud curves that the
iron horse is not called upon to COM
pete with in England. The road
beds are as smooth as a billiard table
and as straight as a sunbeam here, as
everybody knows, two miles of straight
,ail are curiosity. Therefore the
Vandalias run, which is only very
little shorter thon the record train here
quoted, is all the more remarkable.
Speaking on the same subject another
railroad man said to the reporter so
long as the law was administered i'm
partially no bad effects could be felt by
regular railroad corporations. Where
competing lines existed the only effect
would be to stimulate each to exertions
in order to secure the business. "For
example, he said "much advantage
will be obtained by prompt and excel
lent delivery service. When there are
two companies in competition the one
that can make delivery at the terminal
best will soon fnd the business drift
ing in its direction
"The interest which will suffer most
on account of the new law will be
transportation companies that have
cars but are without road beds" an ex
perienced railroad manager said to the
reporter. "By this l mean such con-
Germs as the Union line, the White Star
line, the Peipher line and similar cor
porations. They obtain their business
by securing special terms of wheel
tolls for carrying their freights. These
conditions will, of course, be prevented
in the future, and these corporations
will have no better terms from the rail-
roads over which they run their cars
than private individuals or individual
shippers can procure. Naturally this
will take away their profits and leave
them without an incentive to do bust.
ness. But outside of that, l cant see
how the new law can have damaging
effect on transportation companies

was, by the way, an attack and refu-

fourteen thousand dollars.

Flames in a Cemetery.

The old Hanover Cemetery, in
Wilkes Barre, wherein repose the re-
mains of many of the victims of the
Wyoming massacre of 1878, caught
fire Friday last, and before the flames
could be got under control they de-
voured the fences and blackened and
otherwise injured the monuments, The
headstones OF the dead patriots now
present very dilapidated appearance.
The church, which is situated in the
cemetery, had narrow escape from
destruction. The conhagration was
due to the carelessness of the sexton
who set fire TO some underbrush which
he had gathered together. DIR. sutl,ff,
of Nanticoke, a descendant of one Of
the old pioneer families of the valley,
will bring suit against the trustees OF
The cemetery.
